Oh Jamie Campbell...You are such a nerd

Please tell us that we completely misheard you, and that you didn't just drop a Kenny Loggins lyric to start off the World Series pre-game show.

Because if you really did, then that's way beyond sad.

What...you couldn't think of any inspirational Huey Lewis lyrics off the top of your head? Didn't have the time to rattle off a full throated version of Starship's "We Built This City"?

Isn't it a little bit of a bummer that we're going to have to brave our way through another bone-chilling Canadian winter to get to the next season, and our great reward for making our way through it is to have six months of Jamie Campbell prattling on about sweet shite-all.

Possibly the worst (and best) writing on the Blue Jays, all in one fell swoopWe're not sure who Aaron Miller is, or why somebody at CityNews.ca decided to transcribe his crayon scribblings and post them on their website.

Miller's article is so dumbfoundingly empty-headed and ridiculously pointless that reading it left us with a nausea that we haven't felt since we were 12 and went a little crazy with the speed on the teacups ride at the county fair with a belly full of cotton candy and corndogs.

The lyric was from a song called "This Is It", which we are happy to say that we don't know.

(And which doubles the fun on this: It wasn't just Kenny Loggins...it was OBSCURE Kenny Loggins.)

@Lloyd

Now that you mention it, we remember that post of yours, which nailed it. Moreover, it's not like many of these guys went directly from Toronto to their current teams. Werth, Gross, Hinske, Miller...they all had other stops along the way, so it's a little rich to take the point of view that Andrew or Aaron or Aardvark or whatever took.

That article was just a typical example of a Toronto douchebag sports media type mistaking cynicism for insight. Maybe one day, he'll grow up to become the next Gareth Wheeler.

Maybe the Loggins song was rocking the jukebox in the Halifax bar when JC smooched his female co-worker, and thus, burned into his memory.

Oh, and completely off topic, but fuck Joe Maddon by the way. Now he's whining about the alleged substance on Joe Blanton's cap. Seems the Rays are the only team that plays the game the "right" way, I guess.

JC, JP fuck em all! Loggins is a gutless dicklicker. He was the darling of AC radio in the lates 70s/early 80s.U2 is a good reference though especially the song in question BUT Loggins and Night Ranger. Those groups make Triumph look edgy! I don't wanna hear comments about Gil Moore tracks either, they were three chord wonders with a loud guitar part! Mike Levine only knew two notes on the bass BUT they blew away Loggins......
